I hate GG Poker. Because the community cards are being dealt in a way that violates statistics. For instance, a player hitting a Gutshot on the flop has around a 16% chance of making a straight (until the river). However, on GG, this probability is close to 50%. Short stack and fish players are winning way too many hands. When I used to play on PokerStars, I had a higher BB/100 value. I'm playing on GG now because access to other platforms is not allowed in my country. If I find an alternative place, I will leave GG immediately.

Hi ferruhgev,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com 
I feel your pain. First, let's look a variance. Follow the link below and play with the numbers. There you'll find a chart that shows actual winnings for a player with a certain winrate, over a very large number of hands. Over many trials, sometimes they win a lot, sometimes lose a lot. On average though, their winrate holds.

Next, it is important to leave emotion out of the equation. The post above sounded angry. It isn't possible to make consistently good decisions when angry.
Finally, the next time that this happens, post the hand in the hand discussion forum. It may help. At PokerStrategy.com we advocate playing a tight, aggressive style. If too many hands are played — or played too passively — the opponents with the gutshots may get odds to play them.
There is material here that can help with the mental game as well.
Best of luck :gl:,

Whatchu mean bro? If you know the winning strategy on GG, just play it. You say gutshots hit 50%? Stack off with every gutshot. With the added money and fold equity, you would be a millionaire within 3 months.
